My “Me Against The World Award” goes to Monty Williams.:

What a coaching head this man is turning out to be.. The Clippers make an adjustment with their starting five especially on how they defend Booker by starting Beverly, catching Booker high up what does he do?

He changes ball handling duties at the start of the 2nd and has C. Payne handle the ball and control the direction of the game with Ayton having another monster game.

And that winning play after the timeout with 9 tenth of a second remaining to set up Ayton for the Alley was exceptionally impressive. First he misdirects Booker deep, rotating Ayton from the top of the side into the restricted zone to catch the Ally for an easy dunk over Zubac!

What a set play and the execution was perfect!!!

Take a bow Monty Williams.. This one is for you! It’s you against the World!

I will believe this when it happens. Has he ever done such a thing?

Roland17:
The Nets with some bad plays on the offensive end leading to bad TO. Slimreaper you have got to be better with securing the ball..

Super bummed about Jamal Murray's injury. Denver most especially Djokic misses Him.

benji93:
Trae is quite average from 3.

At this point I would take Lebron out, no point in risking further injury

Roland17:


Jaylen Brown is perhaps one of the most intellectual basketball/ sports individual I have seen in a very long time. I am talking about people who have immense gift of critical thinking when speaking about numerous issues.. not just issues bordered on social justice but different spheres of life. He is quite composed and calm when he is making his case which is uniquely different.. He reads a lot of books like me and it doesn’t shock me when he makes different analogies in relation to the topic discuss.
The man has a great future ahead of him after basketball for sure. When it comes to enlightenment, I try to be careful because it is subjective to principles and values identified to the specific individual. In most cases, I just listen and that is what I do when Kyrie speaks. He comes off bullish but it’s coming from a different place me and you may never understand I guess.. if that makes sense.
His take on Kyrie’s comment was exceptional and perfect. Good thing the Celtics fans backed him up by not doing anything silly last night..it would have given credence to the narrative.

Roland17:
Zubac and T. Mann have been important for the Clippers

chic2pimp:
This is not definitely not the same Bucks team as last season and this is most certainly not the same Heats team as last season.

Really happy for Jrue. After wasting His time on the pelicans for years, He finally has a team that will at the very least give Him a chance to compete. Also who would have thought replacing wastepipe Bledsoe for one of the Best guards in the League would automatically make your team better? .

Nets are still my favourite though providing everyone is fit. I don't see anyone outscored those dudes 4 times in a 7 games series.

Curry does not need the MVP trophy to prove anything. He has 2. It is more difficult to win a regular season MVP that lasts multiple games than finals MVP that someone can rely on AD all through the rounds and then stat pad in 6 games of the finals to win it. I will only take finals MVP seriously when they factor all a player has done from game 1 of the playoffs to the finals. As for people complaining about contracts and what not, I feel guys are just being emotional. Draymond is an offensive liability but he is by FAR the best defender in the league and the second most intelligent player in basketball (Lebron is marginally better because he can score). I will not blame him for little issues here and there. We were tired yesterday. We just played a gruelling game against the Refs and LAL whilst Memphis coasted against SAS and rested (the scoreline flattered SAS). Also, Klay's contract meant that we are limited to who we could put on the roster. Klay is occupying 30m+ of contract money that could have brought in 3 solid players. I have seen enough to know that we would be better next season. I won't say much about Kerr (he has his own skoi skoi) but there are 13 better rosters than GSWs in the west. Don't let anyone mislead you. All the coaches they praised as geniuses all proved they are all below Kerr. From Nick Nurse to Brad Stevens. Kerr achieved more with his own roster than they did with better rosters and has won more than all other serving coaches not named G.Pop.

This is not related to basketball but something huge has happened in the world of football (the real football, not gridiron)

He never really broke out, and I am not sure why. He had a good post game, had a sure banker midrange jumper. Was it defense, game smarts? I really dont know, but I felt he should have had more impact in the league than he did. I dont think going to the Spurs was a good move either - it was a small market, with boring basketball, which killed his visibility. On the right team, he could have done more.

Anyhow, life with fam is more important. I hope he enjoys his retirement! 15years is not beans. Still a great career anyhow you look at it
